What Is the Prop Firm Consistency Rule?
The consistency rule is one of the most misunderstood payout requirements in prop trading. It limits how much of your total account profit can come from a single trading day. Most prop firms set this threshold between 20% and 50%.
The rule exists to ensure traders are generating returns through a sustainable, repeatable strategy — not through a single high-risk, all-in trade that happened to work. Prop firms want to fund consistent, disciplined traders, not gamblers.
📐 The Formula:
(Best Day Profit ÷ Total Profit) × 100 = Consistency %If this number exceeds your firm's threshold, you cannot request a payout yet.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the prop firm consistency rule?
The consistency rule is a payout requirement used by many prop firms that prevents any single trading day's profit from exceeding a certain percentage of your total profit. For example, under a 30% rule, if your total profit is $5,000, your best single day cannot have generated more than $1,500.
Which prop firms have a consistency rule?
Many leading prop firms enforce this rule, including Apex Trader Funding, Tradeify, The Trading Pit, Funded Next, and others. Rules vary from 20% to 50%. FTMO does not have a formal consistency rule cap, but evaluates discipline differently.
What happens if I violate the consistency rule?
Violating the consistency rule typically doesn't cause an immediate account failure. Instead, your payout request will be declined until you generate enough additional profit to dilute your best day below the required threshold.
How do I fix a consistency rule violation?
You must continue trading and generating profits on other days. The goal is to increase your total profit so that your best single day becomes a smaller percentage of the total. Our calculator shows exactly how much additional profit you need.
How is the consistency percentage calculated?
The formula is simple: (Best Day Profit ÷ Total Account Profit) × 100. If the result is below your firm's threshold (e.g., 30%), you are compliant and eligible to request a payout.
